Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It is recommended that people with CKD, hypertension, or diabetes limit sodium intake to 1500 mg/day.

Answer to Question 2

D
Most of the body's energy should be supplied by carbohydrates. Fat provides an important, but lesser, source of energy. Protein can be used as an energy source if needed, but should not be the body's primary energy source. Vitamins help the body obtain energy from carbohydrate, protein, and fat, but do not contribute energy themselves.
